A Pleasant Surprise.

Last Wednesday evening was the ocea-
sion of very pleasant and enjoyable sur
prise TO Prof. De Witt e. Ingle, of the
Anne Arundel County Academy, by the
scholars of the school.
By arrangement the students met at the
Academy hall just opposite the house.
and at half after seven went in body to
the house. TheProfessor as is his custom,
was in his study occupied with his books,
when a knock at the door compelled him
to respond and there met the cry of sur
prise from the crowd without.
After all were comfortably seated in the
parlor, and each chatting with his neigh
Dor the conversation was stopped by the
sound of music which proved to be sere-
made by Capt Graff1in and his band. But
this was not all--for scarcely had the
music ceased when Mr.. Thales Disney,
president of the academy literary society.
stepped forward and in the name of the
school presented the Professor with a
handsome volume of the Oxford Bible as
a token of love and esteem. In response
the Professor said he was absolutely sur
prised and in his language non plussed.
But in we'll timed speech he thanked
the school for the very highly esteemed
present, and valued it not only for the
high character of the book but for the
motive which prompted the giving. The
very genial hostess then served the guests
with refreshments, and the remainder of
the evening was spent in pleasant converse
ton interspersed with music on the piano
by some Of the young ladies of the school
and by Mrs Ingle who is an accomplish
ed pianist. At eleven thirty, the com
pany withdrew having the remembrance
of a we'll spent evening and of very
harmonious relation between teacher
and student. l..

a wise thing in suggesting and urging

venture to say have been laid for the past

coed with the work Now as a special
called meeting of the Board will be held
on Monday next, we would suggest to our
friend, Mr.. Revel, and the entire Board
that. as School street is very great thor

to go q step farther and appropriate
enough money to pave the bed of that

the cause of the trouble, heals the parts

The society sang several appropriate
hymns. In the absence of several on whom
duties were imposed the program was
shorter than usual. An animated and inter-
esting debate closed the evening s exercises
The subject discussed was Resolved,
that man exerts a more beneficial influ-
ence on society than woman. Those who
argued in the affirmative were: Mrs. l..
Dorsey, Messrs. w. b. Gardiner and S.
Gates. The negative: Miss Wilson. Messrs
Z. p. Banks, Jr, and G. s. Tickling.
Both sides presented good points and were
well discussed. The affirmative enumer-
ated the great and noble deeds that had
been enacted by man. There were no
Shakespeare. Millions, Byrons among wo-
men. Discoveries and inventions were
made by man not woman. On the other
hand woman was the image in which the
there graces-Faith, Hope and Charity
were embodied Liberty, who was the
symbol of the enlightening of the world
is represented by woman. The mothers
influence and the sisters influence were
fine points developed by the negative side.
Every great man owes his greatness to his
mothers influence, said one of the deba
tors 1t was his mother who taught him

mother over the child was most beautiful
ly portrayed. The debate was very inter
